ssh disconnects after small timeout on Digi CM

Question

When I connect to console port via ssh (port menu or hi-range port number), digi breaks session afer small timeout. How can I set up ports timeout?

Answer 1

The configurable inactivity timeout value, if that's what's coming into play here, can be found under Serial > Configuration > Host Mode Parameters.

Another possibility is that its timing out client side rather than Digi CM side, so that's worth looking into as well.

Answer 2

We are having exactly the same problem. All SSH connections time out after approximately 1 minute 40 seconds. Changing the TCP keepalive values does not help. Is there something else we are missing in the settings?

Answer 3

Are you talking about a Digi CM?

TCP Keepalive sounds more like a Portserver TS, in which case a seperate thread should be created.

Answer 4

Regarding the CM:

There are a couple of inactivity timeout settings.

One is for the ports as michaelt referred to earlier.

There also is one for the Port access menu itself located here:
Serial ports->Config->Port access menu conf->Inactivity timeout.

Note: The default timeout for both is 1min 40sec (100 sec).
